At approximately 18:12 this evening, the CEO of Shinra Manufacturing Works, Claude Shinra, 57, was murdered as he left his factory by an “unknown assailant”.

Witnesses have reported that Shinra evaded a bullet, but was then chased inside his own factory by what is being described as an assassin. Detective Chief Inspector Ortega Vanguard, who is leading the initial investigation, has already stated that “the incident was, without a doubt, pre-meditated”. Vanguard also mentioned that the FCPD is conducting a search of all nearby buildings to find any clues that could lead to the assassin’s identity.
